NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eToro Group Ltd. (“eToro”, or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ETOR), the trading and investing platform, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“I’m incredibly proud of the eToro team for delivering our strongest quarterly financial results as a public company, while continuing to accelerate product innovation. In the first quarter, we introduced 24/7 trading for commodities, equities and indices, added Japanese equities, and launched crypto trading in New York. We also saw acceleration in product launches with many new apps within the eToro App Store, AI-powered Agent Portfolios, and an integration with xAI for Tori, our AI agent.

“The acquisition of Zengo, a leading self-custodial crypto wallet provider, meaningfully advances our strategy of bridging traditional finance with on-chain infrastructure, prediction markets, perpetuals and the broader crypto ecosystem.

“Looking ahead, we continue to enhance our global product offering, deepen our investment in on-chain technologies, and grow our suite of AI-driven tools, which we believe will fundamentally reshape how retail investors engage with the markets and unlock new opportunities for growth,” commented Yoni Assia, CEO and Co-Founder of eToro.

“Strong first quarter 2026 results supported by a surge in commodities trading, demonstrated the strength of our multi-asset business model. We delivered compelling financial performance through a combination of diversified revenue streams, strong funded accounts growth, and increased customer engagement. We continue to execute with discipline and focus as we seek to deliver long-term value to our shareholders,” said Meron Shani, eToro CFO.

Commodities trading accounted for approximately 60% of trading commissions in the quarter, and volumes increased nearly fourfold year-over-year. With the addition of Japanese equities, eToro now offers users the ability to trade equities from 26 exchanges. The Company introduced crypto trading for users in New York, successfully activating its BitLicense and Money Transmitter License.
  • Investing: eToro continued to enhance its investing experience including the launch of the eToro App Store, a marketplace enabling investors and developers to access, build, share, and scale trading and analytics applications directly within the eToro ecosystem. As part of its commitment to AI-powered investing, eToro introduced Agent Portfolios, dedicated sub-portfolios, which provide a structured way to experiment with intelligent portfolio automation in a controlled environment through a simple conversational interface with Tori, eToro’s AI agent. eToro also expanded its partnership with xAI, embedding real-time market sentiment powered by Grok 4.2 directly into Tori’s investing workflow.
  • Wealth Management: eToro strengthened its wealth offering supported by growth in UK ISAs and the launch of an upgraded subscription service. The Company is targeting a market opportunity exceeding $1 trillion, with strong momentum in the UK cash ISA segment, where assets under management in the quarter grew 15x year-over-year. eToro introduced an upgraded eToro Club Subscription, providing access to exclusive wealth tools, enhanced investing features, and premium rewards.
  • Neo-Banking: The European rollout of the eToro Money card continued to see strong adoption, with the number of new cards issued increasing 2.2x quarter-over-quarter. eToro continues to expand its localized experience to strengthen user trust, drive adoption, and support sustainable growth across key regions.
  • M&A: In April, eToro announced the acquisition of Zengo, combining eToro’s global multi-asset platform and distribution with Zengo’s secure, self-custodial wallet technology. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s digital asset capabilities and accelerates its strategy to bridge traditional finance with on-chain infrastructure and the crypto-native economy.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

 This press release and the accompanying tables contain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards nor with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (collectively “GAAP”) metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS. The inclusion of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. eToro believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results of operations. eToro believes excluding specified items provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reporting periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management with a more relevant measure of operating performance and is more useful in assessing management performance.

eToro urges its investors to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure set forth herein, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate eToro’s business.

This press release also includes key performance indicators that eToro’s management uses to help evaluate the business, measure its performance, identify trends, prepare financial projections and make business decisions. eToro’s key performance indicators include Funded Accounts, Assets Under Administration and Net Contribution. Definitions of performance indicators can be found elsewhere in this press release.

Definitions of Certain Metrics

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric that we define as net income adjusted to exclude finance and other expenses, net, taxes on income, share-based payment expense, depreciation and amortization, employee non-cash expense, one-time transaction costs and other expense.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial metric that we define as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Contribution.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted Diluted EPS): Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial metric and is calculated by dividing the Adjusted Net Income attributable to common shareholders by the diluted shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes the impact of the same non-recurring or non-operational items to provide investors with a normalized measure of profitability on a per-share basis.

Adjusted Net Income: Adjusted Net Income refers to a company’s net income after making adjustments for non-recurring, one-time, or non-cash items such as restructuring charges, asset impairments, acquisition-related expenses, or gains/losses from discontinued operations.

Assets under administration (AUA): AUA reflects the aggregate fair value of assets held by users within the platform, including those held by third-party partners for execution or custody services, categorized as follows:

  • Crypto: Includes all cryptocurrencies and users’ crypto assets held in eToro digital wallets.
  • Equities: Includes stocks, ETFs, and assets managed under the Spaceship program.
  • Cash: Includes customers’ uninvested cash (e.g., cash balances, eMoney balances, in-process cashouts), as well as cash used for margin or posted as collateral for leveraged positions.

Funded Accounts: Funded Accounts are users who have completed KYC, AML and other onboarding processes, activated their account, deposited funds, executed at least one trade at any time and have a positive account balance (invested or uninvested). Funded Accounts represent the deepest level of our user acquisition funnel and are the users from whom we generate total commission.

Interest Earning Assets: Interest Earning Assets are the average monthly balances of users’ cash balances, corporate cash, users’ total leveraged positions and stakeable cryptoassets.

Invested amount per trade: The total invested amount divided by the total number of trades. For reporting purposes, we present this measure separately for capital markets (equities, commodities, and currencies) and for cryptoassets, in order to highlight trends across the two categories, given their unique characteristics.

Net Contribution: Net Contribution reflects Total revenue and income, less the Cost of revenue from cryptoassets and Margin interest expense. We use Net Contribution to evaluate the net contributions of our users’ activity on our platform before considering the overhead costs associated with our operations.

Net Contribution consists of the following five components, each representing revenue or income divided across our products based on the distinct patterns upon which we monetize users’ activity on the platform. We evaluate the performance of our business and our success in both diversification and risk management across these five components:

  • Net Trading Contribution (Equities, Commodities and Currencies) is equal to our Net trading income from equities, commodities and currencies.
  • Net Trading Contribution (Cryptoassets) is equal to Revenue from cryptoassets plus Net trading income (loss) from cryptoasset derivatives less Cost of revenue from cryptoassets, excluding the net contributions from blockchain rewards and staking activity.
  • Net Interest Contribution represents Net interest contribution from users plus Other interest income plus the net contributions of staking activity, less Margin interest expense.
  • eToro Money comprises the vast majority of our Currency conversion and other income. It represents the income earned from our money management services, including currency conversions, withdrawals, interchange on our debit card, transfers of cryptoassets, and fees relating to our cryptoasset wallet services.
  • Subscriptions and Other is the remainder of Currency conversion and other income not attributable to eToro Money plus the net contributions of blockchain rewards.

Net Income: Net income represents the company’s total earnings or profit for a given period, calculated as total revenue minus all expenses, including operating costs, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other income or expenses. It reflects the company’s overall profitability according to GAAP standards.

Total Money Transfers: Total money transfers are the cumulative value across the respective period of user deposits, withdrawals, and cross-currency trade funding via eToro Money IBAN.

Trades: Trades represent the total number of orders that were placed by users and executed during the applicable period. Trades include self-directed and copy trades, and each trade reflects either the opening or closing of a position by a user.
